The Importance of Professional Self-Knowledge in the Initial and In-Service Training of Teachers

Abstract

Rogers’s person-centered approach has had a major impact on the social professions and the methods used in this field, so I have tried to briefly present the methods that can be used in the initial and in-service training of teachers. As professional self-knowledge is an important area of becoming a teacher and pedagogical work, I emphasize the importance of this area in the initial and in-service training of teachers. In this research, I undertook to find a connection between teachers' professional self-awareness, mental health status and professional well-being. In my questionnaire, I used an adapted version of Jacqueline Royer’s (2005) test of metamorphoses. The results allow us to conclude that most teachers in the sample have a need for mental health help, and in the absence of it, they see themselves negatively. In the case of the examined sample, the level of professional well-being is related to the years spent on the field and the state of mental health.
